Hand truck
The Spartan SR Hand Truck is one of the most popular and trusted hand trucks on the market. This truck is 11 inches taller than the Spartan JR and has a loop handle rather than double-grip handles. Easily converts from a traditional two-wheel truck to a four-wheel cart in seconds. Durable and versatile, this 2-in-1 hand truck is a favorite with route drivers, general delivery, and warehouse personnel. Certainly one of the best on the market at a great price. Dimensions: 20W x 18D x 62H inches.

These hand trucks are a great value.
I use these hand trucks for off premise catering and moving heavy loads of china, glassware, food, and beverage into and out of all sorts of venues.
While they do not seem quite as sturdy as the similar Magliner hand trucks I own, for the most part they are identical and they are still very capable of holding up under heavy work. Moreover, considering that I can almost buy two of these Wesco trucks for what I paid for a single Magliner, I have been very pleased with the value.
The only thing I consider to be a down side to the Wesco model is the lack of tire options when ordering online. Everywhere online I looked only offered the choice of a wide pneumatic tire with a steel hub or a skinny solid rubber tire with a plastic hub. The pneumatic tires do offer the smoothest ride and their width is better suited to rolling across different terrain. The solid rubber tires require less maintenance because they cannot go flat. So either way there is a trade off and you simply have to pick which features are more important for your application.
The Magliner trucks, on the other hand, are easier to order with a larger choice of tires, including a solid rubber tire that is both wide and mounted on a steel hub like the pneumatic tire. True, there is still some tradeoff as compared to the pneumatic, but not as much as the skinny solid rubber tire on a plastic hub available for the Wesco trucks.
In the end I decided the price of Wesco model was the kicker, despite the lack of tire options. I figured I would just buy the Wesco with the pneumatic tires and when they ultimately went flat, I would replace them with solid rubber tires like the ones I have on my Magliners.

I have some physical limitations and this is very helpful trying to maintain my activities and independence. I use it for moving heavier items around my home,garage and little workshop. I like the large size noseplate and height of the frame for moving taller items and pulling back on truck to get the load on the wheels. One thing I don't like is that the handle for converting to horizontal position is sticky when sliding it through it's bracket. It also had no built in stair rail for going up/down stairs. The rotating handle could use more of a positive lock/latch when in the horizontal position. Overall, it is great and will outlast me.

Used in a professional application, carrying bulky, heavy boxes, office paper, corporate mail, etc. over sidewalks, carpeted floors, freight elevators, etc. This cart more than doubled my efficiency..it's strong, smooth, and quiet.Since I bought it myself, it was one of my best purchases. You can't go wrong with this..Buy it, use it,..take care of it!
